We will destroy you if you attack Lebanon – Iran threatens Israel

Iran’s United Nations mission has issued a stark warning to Israel, cautioning against any large-scale military actions in Lebanon, which it claims could escalate into a devastating conflict.

In a statement posted on X late Friday, the mission stated, “All options, including full engagement of all Resistance Fronts, are being considered,” referring to Iran-aligned groups across the region.

The statement dismissed Israel’s threats of targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon as “psychological warfare” and “propaganda.”

Tensions along the Israeli-Lebanese border have escalated with daily exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah since the start of the current conflict in Gaza on October 7.

Concerns of a broader conflict heightened after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated preparations for a “highly sensitive operation” on the Lebanese border.

Israeli military spokespersons confirmed a series of airstrikes targeting Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon, including military installations in the Zabqin area and operational infrastructure in Khiam and Odaisseh.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant emphasized Israel’s readiness for any potential conflict with Hezbollah while expressing a preference to avoid war.
